there are five counties in florida, not the other 62 counties. there are some counties in california and new york. if in the early 1970's congress updated the law a little to take into account areas that had spanish-speaking or non english- speaking voters who were not registered. there were brought under the law. they said you are doing a poor job of registering nine english- speaking voters. so there's a couple counties in california. and in new york. for the most part, the law is still as it was in 1965. host: congress approved this law for another 25 years recently? guest: absolutely. almost a unanimous vote. the senate passed it unanimously. i think the reason is this law was so important in american history. everybody agrees, even the people who don't criticize it today agree that the voting rights act was one of the great civil rights laws of american history, because it really allowed minorities to register to vote and have their votes count. they could actually win seats in the city council or the county board. the only question now is,

florida is a good model. jeb bush is on another side of the political spectrum from may, but he did a good job of forcing florida schools accountability. right now, several years later, the african-american kids' test scores in florida are on par with white kids in the rest of the country. by putting accountability in and giving some examples of opportunities for choice, he created an environment for these kids who are far behind and are now moving forward. some of the stuff done in new york was amazing, particularly the principles academy, where he had a goal to get some of these strong principles to get into management sessions. he had a pipeline of them. those teachers put pressure on the traditional teaching pool to be better. the models are there. like it or not, most of education will be driven by state agendas. that is why the work you are doing here is so important. the state leaders have to be responsive to this issue. they need to put these kids first. we get them to do that, and we can change this.

florida supreme court disagreed. there's a passage in the supreme court that says an officer bring it to the door can go to the door and drain off and talk but when the officer goes up with a narcotics dog that is a qualitatively different matter. >> maybe this is the same question justice alito asked earlier what people have different senses of smell. so what if there is a person that has the best sense of smell in the department and they say let's use him to go to them dhaka and talk when we suspected drugs that way he may discover the owner of marijuana when other people wouldn't. is it wrong for them to select the person with the best sense of smell to do that? >> that would lead more to the determination if there was a trespass because they selected the officer that had the best sense of smell to go up to that door. >> you said dhaka and talks are okay. >> they are okay but under your hypothetical what seems to mock and talk wasn't really but the officer was going up there for. >> keillor on a slippery slope wit
